I said it in another thread. Where has the quality batting gone? Any pitch other than a road. Batsmen struggle to last even a session. I blame the 20/20 rubbish. Time for batting coaches from 19's to test

Certainly looks the case in Aust... Ponting's struggling a little, aside from him Hussey is the only one that looks decent...

Seriously, if you don't have better players than Hughes and Smith you're in for a long period of struggling

And the bowlers - I just see nothing in Hilfenhaus that suggests he's a good test bowler, we all know about Johnson.... Harris looks okay, and Siddle, well, dunno... and your spinners are best not mentioned

Back to bowling short pies, the lot of them.

Where are Johnson's and siddle's fans now? Hopefully on the phone with AMI if they know what's good for them

f**kin' pathetic to say the very least. In fact I find that performance an insult. It was more of the same with the top order failing. This time Mike Hussey couldn't save our bacon.

I'm already looking forward to them putting the whites and cherries away and them getting out the colours and snowballs and turning the lights on.

Well from what i can gather all the Aussie problems are because of ALL those Victorian players in the side....:sarcasm:

Let's be honest. This performance is unacceptable. I'm on holidays on the Gold Coast but its pouring rain so I don't really feel like going surfing or swimming, so I thought I'd watch some cricket but after seeing them collapse to a record low score and again look impatent with ball in hand, I've switched off!
